Governor John Bel Edwards attended an infrastructure meeting at the White House after being invited by President Trump.

The Trump Administration has provided a record $80 million dollar windfall to Louisiana following this year's infrastructure meeting with John Bel Edwards at the White House.
The critical Pecue Lane interchange project will receive $16 million to solve a Baton Rouge traffic issue that has awaited funding for 25 years. The interchange will reduce interstate traffic and improve north-south flow in Baton Rouge.
The record $80 million will also resurface a portion of I-12, and improve safety and function at railroad crossings. Demonstrating efficiency the Edwards administration is bringing a record amount of funds that were previously awarded to other states.
